Ilyasi mosque, constructed in 1932, was built on a small piece of land but the water of the stream which is said to have curative properties and serves as a cool drink on hot summer days made it a popular spot. As a public place, it offered business opportunities which a pakora maker exploited to full advantage. If you grew up in Pakistan you obviously know what a pakora is, it is the quintessential South Asian snack found in every street corner, whether its summer or winter.
The Ilyasi Masjid is famous for having some of the best pakoras in Pakistan. The proximity of the Ilyasi Masjid is very convenient for travelers as it is on the road that leads to Nathia Gali. Travelers make a pit stop here before continuing towards their journey uphill.
